I missed it, are you in standard or PPR? In PPR the red zone thing had no impact on Dion.

(I mostly faced bad beats and god drat I need to get over Hill and either play Gio or no Bengal RB)

RCarr posted:How did you end up playing the same opponent in back to back weeks? We do a custom schedule every year, and decided to do away with one rival game (which would be this week) and weight the schedules by rankings from last year and it just sort of happened. We didn't realize it fell that way until the season started or we would have rotated a week in between at the very least.

We play 2 QBs a week, but my main guys were Brees/Luck for most of the year. Now I have Brees, Hoyer, Big Ben, Luck and Romo. As soon as Romo comes back I can drop Hoyer, but gently caress's sake.

Like if Hill or Lacy got injured, I don't think I'd even be mad, even in leagues where I'm thin at RB behind them.

This is the perfect example of how you should draft. I'm guessing you went JC/Ivory as your planned starters with Foster as your eventual upgrade at RB2, then picked up Lewis and Freeman off the WW? That was a hell of a lineup.

MacheteZombie posted:The way I see it, and the part giving me trouble is basically deciding which of the three are going to get 20, 25, and 30 points. Brady is the QB1, averaging like 20% more points per game (25.5) than the point-per-game-QB2 (Newton, 21.5), who is averaging ~15% more points per game than Carr (19.1; at least, in my 4 pt passing TD, -2 fumble/int, normal scoring league). Starting Carr over Brady or Cam when they're not up against someone like Denver or Carolina or St Louis or something is like the definition of getting too cute  Edit: And just to add, since I have the tab open for that league: Minnesota defense gives up 16.5 points per game to QBs (4th lowest), Tennessee gives up 21 per game (17th), and NYG gives up 24 per game (28th). I didn't go to the effort to see which QBs each had played, but I think it's pretty clear you should start the best QB against the most generous defense for QBs! sourdough fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Nov 10, 2015 |

Trade deadline coming up and guy in 10th place with a slim chance of making playoffs is opening up his team for trades, but his team isn't great besides a couple players. Full PPR with return yards His QB: Wilson RB: Blount, Hill, David Johnson WR: D. Thomas, Amendola, Wallace, Wright, Hankerson, Cruz TE: Cameron Mine QB: Newton RB: Gurley, West, Lacy, Bernard, Langford WR: A. Brown, Dez, Snead, Hilton, Aiken, Jordy(IR keeper) TE: Graham His team is in real rough shape and tbh only Thomas and Blount have value to me. Would an offer of Bernard, Lacy, Langford, Hilton, and Aiken for Thomas and Blount be fair? Am i overpaying or is it insulting?

Forever_Peace posted:A+ for getting depth though. This is the perfect example of how you should draft. Got me thinking about where we're at with Rounds 1 & 2 this year and how they've been doing. 1st Round (by ADP) 1.01 - A. Peterson - Trucking along. He's the 5th highest scoring RB in my league right now. 1.02 - L. Bell - Dead. 1.03 - E. Lacy - Bust. Only averaging 7.6 fp/g in my PPR league. 1.04 - A. Brown - Living up to the hype although he's #2 behind Julio only because Big Ben has been out a number of games. Still a Stud. 1.05 - J. Charles - Dead. 1.06 - M. Lynch - TBD. He's been fighting some mild injuries but he's not in Lacy Bust territory. 1.07 - D. Bryant - Previously Dead. Remains to be seen if his resurrection will be sustained by the continued absence of Romo. 1.08 - J. Jones - Current #1 WR in our league. Aside from a couple of bad games in Weeks 4 & 5, the man has produced 20 point games every week. Stud. 1.09 - CJ Anderson - loving lol. 1.10 - D. Thomas - Still a WR1 but a low end one due to Manning's lessened play this year. Stud. 1.11 - M. Forte - Dead. 1.12 - O. Beckham - Solid stud. 2.01 - R. Gronk - Stud. 2.02 - J. Hill - His numbers say bust but he's really a victim of the number of weapons the Bengals have right now. He's got talent but so do a dozen other guys on the Bengals. 2.03 - D. Murray - While not the second coming of McCoy, he's doing quite well for himself. Stud. 2.04 - C. Johnson - Still has flashes of talent but he's been really hampered this year by poor team play and some nagging injuries. Mid-grade bust. 2.05 - A. Luck - Literally butchered on field. 2.06 - A. Green - Stud but see Hill above. 2.07 - L. McCoy - Mild-bust. Being on the Bills has hurt his numbers a bit more than expected. 2.08 - J. Forsett - As expected, low-end RB1 stud. 2.09 - R. Cobb - Mild-Bust. Was expected to do so much more with Jordy out. 2.10 - A. Rodgers - Remains a stud despite depleted weapons. 2.11 - L. Miller - Stud despite slow start. 2.12 - T. Hilton - Luck's butchering has negatively weighed on Hilton. Less studly than expected. Just a surprising number of dead people in the first round.

Hill is a bust. Plain and simple. He may be talented which makes him hold value in keeper/dynasty formats but he's a complete bust so far this year for where you drafted him. Not YOU specifically, the "royal" you.

Not YOU specifically, the "royal" you. Yeah, there's no caveat about Bengals having more weapons or whatever. Gio Bernard has outplayed him almost every game. He's on pace for like ~700 total yards, Gio's on pace for ~1300. Goal line TDs are the only thing keeping Hill at all afloat; half his total fantasy points are TDs! I was really psyched when I got him at pick 13 in a standard scoring league, haha. Also, I know they aren't 1st or 2nd round busts, but there's some other awesome names in the first 4 or 5 rounds. Drafting and holding Foster (RIP) to get like two games out of him, Davante Adams, Andre Johnson, and Charles Johnson drafted as WR2s, the Abdullah hype train that got up to like a top 50 ADP right before the season. Jordan Matthews, Melvin Gordon, Russell Wilson, Jimmy Graham. Yahoo has Peyton as a top 50 pick

Starks or Karlos Williams ROS for a 2QB standard league? I got outbid on D. Williams, and whiffed on picking up Langford. I now have the most FA money, but if I outbid the next highest guy by a buck (who I play this week) I probably won't have the money for the other. I'm trotting out Shane Vereen as my RB2, it's quite embarassing.

If I had seen my current roster at the start of the season, I would've been looking for new and exciting ways to spend a few hundred bucks. Now I'm just kind of crying in a corner and hoping they can pull it together down the stretch to win the consolation bracket: QB: Andrew Luck RB1: LeSean McCoy RB2: Eddie Lacy WR1: Dez Bryant WR2: Odell Beckham Jr. RB/WR: Jeremy Hill TE: Charles Clay Bench: James Starks, Karlos WIlliams, Derek Carr, Ameer Abdullah, Tavon Austin

So now is the time to try to sell Langford, yes? He's got the Rams and then Broncos and then Forte is probably back. I'd only potentially regret moving him if the Bears are going to shut Forte down.

That's doubly true in the admittedly off chance that Lacy turns it all around and reasserts himself as the I think I agree with you, but would temper expectations on Karlos. So many of Williams' points have been from scoring a touchdown every game. That should regress a bit, right? He can't keep being startable as a low end RB2 or high end flex even with McCoy healthy (or can he?!). Also McCoy has been a bit underwhelming, but 4.4 ypc, decent job in the passing game, and supposedly finally fully healthy means I don't think anyone should expect Karlos to take over. Lacy has been far more underwhelming than McCoy, and Starks has been a quality real life backup. Seems more likely that Lacy loses more work than McCoy does from here on out, imo. The main thing, though, is that it isn't like it's happened too often that Starks has had great games when Lacy hasn't. Some of it is down to Lacy being awful, but typically both of them have been unproductive. Starks has only had >4 ypc in two games.
